Dr Remi Adekoya has been quoted in the article "Why some African countries are thinking twice about calling out Putin" on CNN Africa online this week. 

Remi says "Countries on the continent find themselves in a delicate position and will not want to get drawn into proxy battles" and goes on to say "Some African countries have also hesitated in speaking out against Russia because they want to "keep their options open if they face existential threats or some kind of revolution in their own country in the future."
